We are a nationally recognized heavy civil and energy infrastructure contractor with a decades-long track record of delivering complex projects across the United States. Our core markets include Power Delivery (transmission, distribution, substations), Civil Infrastructure (earthwork, site development, disaster response), and Renewable Energy (solar, battery storage, wind). With a culture grounded in operational excellence, safety, and innovation, we seek a forward-thinking safety leader to take our power-focused operations to the next level.

Position Overview

• Drive continuous improvement in safety culture through human performance (HP), behavior-based safety (BBS), and CIF (Critical Incident Frequency) prevention programs.
• Ensure compliance with OSHA, DOT, MSHA, NFPA 70E, and client-specific safety requirements.
• Participate in business development efforts by supporting prequalification efforts, client presentations, and proposal safety narratives.
• Interface with insurance providers, third-party auditors, and clients to represent the company’s safety philosophy and performance.

Ideal Background

• 10+ years of progressive safety leadership in the construction, power delivery, or heavy civil sectors.
• Demonstrated experience leading teams on multi-discipline, high-risk projects (T&D, substations, renewables, or disaster response preferred).
• Deep understanding of utility owner requirements, safety audits, and performance metrics.
• Familiarity with high-voltage electrical safety, line-of-fire mitigation, and human performance principles.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence at all levels—from field crews to executive stakeholders.
• Safety certifications such as CSP, CHST, CUSP, or equivalent are highly preferred.
• Willingness to travel regionally/nationally as needed.

Why Join Us?
